The Net

Angela Bennett (Sandra Bullock) is a young and beautiful computer expert. She works from home as a computer analyst of Cathedral Software. She has few friends and almost no one knows how she looked like. Even her own mother who is suffering from Alzheimer’s failed to identify her.

Angela had her identity stolen digitally and replaced with that of someone who has serious problems with the police and who thus took over Angela’s identity. She lost her home, her job…her life. She struggles to find out why this has happened and how to get her identity back.

This 1995 political thriller film has many mistakes and inaccuracies regarding computers. You don’t need to be a computer geek to identify those, but then again this is just a movie and not based on a true to life story. Besides I was entertained by this film so I will give it a 6/10 rating.
